“Becoming a Registered Provider is more than a milestone; it’s our launchpad. We’re on a mission to make LGBTQ+ affirming housing the norm, not the exception.” - Terry Stacy MBE JP, Chair, Tonic Housing

This new status:

🏠 Unlocks even greater opportunities for more Tonic communities across the UK
🏳️‍⚧️ Lets us provide housing for more older LGBTQ+ people
🚀 Means exciting new partnerships, funding routes and community growth
🫱🏽‍🫲🏻 Lets us deliver even stronger support for our Tonic@Bankhouse residents

Older LGBTQ+ people too often feel invisible & face ageism in their daily lives, even within the LGBTQ+ communities. As the UK’s only LGBTQ+ retirement community, we want to celebrate our later lives & not have to hide our identities as we age 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

We would like to take this opportunity to give a huge thank you to all our residents, friends, sponsors and supporters who helped us achieve this milestone 🩷

The funds have been repaid to the Community Housing Fund revolving loan facility, so that it can be used again to create more community-led housing projects.

Tonic has also converted the 2 unsold shared ownership properties into affordable rented homes.

We look forward to the reports recommendations being taken forward by the government, and playing our part in this to deliver more LGBTQ+ affirming retirement communities.
